Why would Brompton be interested in this and how could they even keep tabs on the contents of ebay? Is there some sort of automatic scan for their name that's performed on every item listed under 'cycling'?
Edit: I guess it wouldn't be hard for an importer to bring Flamingo bikes into the UK. . . which would be unpleasant for Brompton.
